Letter to Dana Songtext
von Sonata Arctica

Dana, my darling, I′m writing to you
'Cause your father passed away, it was a beautiful day
And I don′t want to bother you anymore
I used to hope you'd come back
But not anymore, Dana
My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen
Your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine
And I think my heart just cannot handle that
Dana, my darling, would be so bad
Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you
′Cause your mother passed away, it was a really rainy day
And I didn′t mean to bother you anymore
Your mother wished: Come visit your father's grave, Dana
Your father disowned you ′cause you have sinned
But he did forgive you in condition he was in
And I hope you won't do those things anymore
Dana, my darling, I′m waiting for
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana, my dear
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O′Hara decided one day


To travel away, faraway
No, you can't surprise me anymore
I've seen it all before
But it seems I cannot let you go
Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana
And I think that I told you, I′d wait for you forever
Now I know someone else′s holding you
So, for the first time in my life - I must lie
Lie is sin, mess that I'm in
Love is not the thing I feel now
I promise you: I won′t write again
'Til the sun sets behind your grave
Dana, oh, Dana I′m writing to you,
I heard you passed away it was a beautiful day
I'm old and I feel time will come for me,
My diary′s pages are full of thee
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana, my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
To travel away, faraway
Little Dana O′Hara oh, Dana, my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O′Hara decided one day
To travel away, faraway
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana, my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O′Hara decided one day
To travel away, faraway...
